Marathons for Anger

Coaching for Physicians can schedule appointments for Marathon coaching for anger management, either at Dr. Hudson’s farm in Cedar Grove, Santa Fe, NM or his uptown office location in Albuquerque. For an additional fee and expenses, Dr. Hudson will come to you and provide one-on-one, confidential marathon coaching intensives in your home, office or other location.

This is NOT group work. In marathon coaching individuals meet one-on-one with Dr. Hudson for 5 hours a day and for 1-3 consecutive days and stay overnight at a nearby hotel or bed and breakfast (we can help you make arrangements).Each individual has a unique schedule that is worked out in advance.

Marathon coaching is especially useful for physician or surgeon clients who cannot attend weekly coaching sessions and need to travel from distant locations. It provides a brief, intensive and focused approach to your coaching issues and is designed to help you learn new skills in less time.

Anger is a normal emotion but when poorly managed can cause chaos in the medical workplace. It is widely recognized that patient safety and quality of care depend on good communication and teamwork. There is an increasing need for services to help doctors, and other health care workers, manage anger appropriately and communicate well. Dr. Hudson is a Fellow of the National Anger Management Association (NAMA) and an anger management specialist certified by NAMA.

Marathon coaching can teach the skills needed to reduce angry outbursts, manage the frustrations of modern medicine and improve the communication skills needed to work in a healthcare team.

By the end of this marathon coaching session, participants should be able to:

Understand anger dynamics in terms of the anger cycle and the fight or flight theory

Understand how the personality of physicians and medical training can contribute to anger

Be aware of the legal, ethical and medical consequences of unmanaged anger
